WHOS THE POPULAB OHOIOEP
Popularity is not easily gained but
real popularity is something woilh
-while receiving It is now quito cer
tain that of the two candidates for
Congress the man is the more popu
lar of the two as hltT popularity is
spontaneous from the bottom of the
hearts of the people because he is ot
the people But of the hoy his pop
ularity is from his station among them
he being raised above them by letts
patent through luck and his is a nat
ural popularity among the people but
it lacks that spontanlety which is be
ing looked for just at this time
On liis campaign tour aiound the
Island of Hawaii Prince Cupid was
met by the people on the roads so it
was reported after his return hero
with offerings of wieathes pigs cook
ed and ready to cat and with chants
This Is considered as a great popular
ovation to the young man But is It
not natural for the people to do so to
him Of courso it is Ills brother re
ceived n Hko treatment when ho tour
ed at tho last campaign and yet ho
failed of election Rest assured gen
tlemen that tho rccoptlon accorded
tho hoy wa3 not on account of his
being tho leading Republican candi
date hut it was nioro on account of his
being tho pilnce Itls that and noth
ing more Walt a llltlo and well see
whether hell get their votes Wo very
much doubt it whether ho will
But -on tho other hand let us look
nt It W Wilcoxs rccoptlon Ho tour
ed tho samo Big Island and was well
received Juaus woro given at nearly
every point In his honor I argo
crowds gathered to hear him pcoplo
coming long ways Ho appeals to
tholr feelings and sentiments and ho
generally strikoa homo to their heart
of hearts Tills is just as wo have oft
en said that polities without sentiment
is nothing at all It is not good poli
tics but rather very poor And tho
people have shown sympathy to Wil
cox not as a once prince royal but ae
one ot them and in with them All
theso have been done in spite of the
Advertisers one sidedness
Slnco tho foregoing was written
which was intended for our Saturdays
issue but held back to await further
news reports have come of such glow
ing nature for Homo Itulo success that
Wilcoxs election seems so far to ho
assured all others to the contrary not-
withstanding Wherever he has gono
and sounded the hearts or tho people
they have given their unbounded con
fidence most unqualifiedly to the sup
poit of tho banner ho is leading All
tho fine oratory and fine chanting of
old native legendary poetry by the
Hilo psalm singer will bo ot no avail
for he Is too well known And all
along down tho line ot Republican
stumpers if is just the same thing
The natives will not hear them nor
have anything to do with them even
to those of their kind parsons and all
others included they arc not forcihlo
enough in their arguments to swerve
them nor break into tlifeir hearts or
their ranks The Hawalians are just
as Arm today as they were at the last
campaign being strong as steel and
firm as adamant They will not brook
any personal opposition to their first
choice for Delegate The Prince to
them Is an alli and nothing more but
to crave for their votes they will not
have it for him t
From Maui comes the report that it
is strongly for Home Rule and Democ
racy and this in spite of Senator
Baldwins cohorts of spieling parsons
The Prince was hardly heard in La
halna till his arrival there and then
it is to be heard only from a few
throats On going around by the west
and north- of Maul luaus were the
main things known and Home Rulers
fed on them When WlIcox arrived in
Wailuku last Thursday night the Re
publicans were holding a luau and the
Prince was the only speaker Wilcox
kept quiet that night and rested but
he heard from a prominent Hawaiian
Republican that tho Prince wllj not be
elected as he does not yet know how
to speak politics and to touch the
hearts of the people Wo may have
probably forgotten something being
yet a hoy and unacquainted with poli
tics Sure ho has yet lots to learn
He held crowded meetings in Wai
lukuaud Waihce the people flocking
to hear him and his speakers like Sen
atorial Cuudldato White and others
He Is confident that he will ho strong
ly supported by his home Island All
Is not yet Republican but there are
still a few Home Rulers left over
in tho Republican polcal rush and
crash It Is said that nothing can
change Maui But of course wo can
not yot rest content till all Is over
which will come about two weeks
hence
On tho whole the outlook is very
bright for another Home Rule success
with a sure and safe worldly majority
in the next Legislature Nothing can
tho Republicans do to turn the tide in
their favor even on the Garden Isl
and And on this island it will surely
go strongly Homo Rule nnd Democrat
ic and wo shall very soon see it ex
empllllcd tully at tho ballot box
PEBTIMENT TO THE IBSUE
Who has cliige of our leper colony
Tho Board of Health under the Repub
lican administration of this Territory
Who has control over our leper wards
The same answer oe the foregoing
Who plays a dictatorial power and
authority oyer tho Leper Settlement
Tho same answer as above Who is
supposed to caro and maintain these
same leper wards of ours The same
pompous gang of patriotic officials
During whose administration wns it
first made known to the public of a
leper patient being done to death by
maggots while ho was -yet alive It
was during that of the present Board of
Health and wJillc being administered
under our Republican sic Governor
Who were held responsible Official
supporters of the present regime Who
was made a scapegoat for anothers
negligence and delinquencies Tho
lato Dr Richard Oliver a true friend
of tho lepers whoso voice Is ringing
from tho grave for vengeance upon his
professional medical and legal de
tainers Is not the voice of Pilipo Mi
kila calling from his grave for ven
geanco Yes Upon whom Upon
the present Board of Health and our
Republican administrators Who was
mostly to blame for Mikilas being
eaten by worms while life was yet
throbbing In him This same unholy
and inhuman lot under our immaculate
Republican administration Who at
tempted to whitewash the conduct of
tho discharged Superintendent Reyn
olds The present dictator Dr Pratt
of the Board of Health the former dic
tator being one of the two chief officials
dismissed the other member of the
special official investigators being near
ly tarred with the same brush had it
not been for the Insistence of the head
of the Police Department who attempt
ed to shield his own responsibility in
so doing and all these occurred with
in the present year of the beginning of
the twentieth century nd during Re
publican administration
TOPICS OF THE DAY
Lood out Prince Your time next
We will wager that Delegate Wilcox
will not be stoned by the lepers at the
Kalaupapa landing when he visits tho
Leper Settlement somo tiay this week
We shall seo
Say whats the matter with George
Huddy The
people used him to mislead the Prince
then they kicked him out of the fa
mily circle Served George right
Dont worry over the Democracy
dear Morning Glory Self respecting
Democrats will follow their partys dic
tation and dont forget it And they
aro hound to carry and win out -
Those lepers who ate showing oppo
sition to Wilcox and llpme Rule does
not know what they want and who
their friends are They aro nothing
out Ingrates Yes they are really and
jurely an ungrateful lot
It is news that Col McCarthy is in
hunger for office and a Job chaser I
Nay nay it is not so He is following
the dictates of his party as against
hat of his conscienco and business In
terests As a true Democrat he Is
staying by his party and its Homo
Rule allies
Admrlal Becldey cannot cut much
lgure In politics But of course ho
lias to follow the dictates of his own
business interest and lie g right too
Had ho known the trend of events wo
feel sure that ho would not Jmvo corou
out for Prince Cupid as ho has doiso
to please others Well be pannoi
swing much Influence with tho pcoplo
now
It looks ns if Clarcnco Is way back
and tho mnchlne is in the hands of
Thurstons cousin Lorrln Andrews
with his Young Mens Republican
Club
From tho reports In Gov Doios
Morning Organ it is hard to tell
whether tho Republican Territorial
Committee has anything to do with
running tlie campaign Well if they
carry the election all tho glory will
belong to Thurstons Advertiser
George Carter and Little Andrews
And Old Whiskers will smilo
We have been authorized to emphat
ically deny that the Hon A S Cleg
horn made an offer to settle1 tho alleg
ed shortage found against his son-in-law
Col JasH Boyd Superintendent
of Public Works It is all a fabrica
tion without any foundation whatso
ever and a tissue of falsehood from be
ginning to end Whoever has made
the offer Is not yet known
It would look better for Lorrln An-
m
drews tho manager of the speaking
campaign if he would get Col Sam
Parker to preside at one of his meet
ings and turn on somo hot stuff
from George Davis and McCants Stew
art and Aleck Robertson Then put
on the platform Kennedy Gear Lane
etc Say Lorrin dont forget Judge
Humphreys
Well even the printers devil rush
rd into our sanctum to sec whats the
matter now It was a big laugh from
our office cat when it saw Admiral
Beckleys cut In tho Morning Organ
From under our tabic we heard a fellnt
voice saying Ha they put the thumb
3crew down on the Admiral and
fetched him around Why it was onl
last week that he was making speeches
for Wilcox Well they can whip em
all into line when they get ready No
not all Theres Humphreys
Our Republican opponents have at
last bitten the taunt hold out against
thorn In roforenco to their insincerity
on the county and municipal plank in
their platform But we think that
they have come out witli It rather late
In the day Thoy frobably relied on
he saying that it Is better late than
never but their sincerity has imen
found out and they thought to nip tho
bud in he nick of time hut It tastes
like sour milk which 13 unpalatable
Indigestible and very binding It is
well that they have come out for It
but It Is also known that they do not
mean to carry It through even If fby
Bay that they will Their Insincerity
is top wol known
There must have been iotne animus
in the conduct of the Star apt tho Ad
vertiser towards our personal frlendi
Col J sun on Harhottlo Boyd Ouo

Hues and tho other in the same man

Hawaiian that they aro not In sympa
thy with hut we hope to soon seo
them floored Before beginning a con
demnation proceeding against him we
aro perfectly wllllmt to await his re
turn a matter of a couple of days Wo
are not yet ready to condemn him he
foru being found guilty and If he is
